Milk
of magnesia
is an aqueous suspension of magnesium hydroxide. The
solution derives the name from its milky white
appearance. Although best known for its antacid and
laxative properties, use of milk of magnesia for
acne treatment is pretty popular among people
suffering from acne. The common belief, however, that
the soothing effect of this medicine cures acne is still
a myth. Alike any other commercialized so called acne
cures, milk of magnesia is highly accepted by many acne
sufferers. Being a cheaper option to its expensive
counterparts like Nizoral, milk of magnesia is easy on
your wallet too.
Milk
of magnesia for acne: how does it (not)
work?
As
an antacid milk of magnesia comes in the form of tablets
while for acne treatment it comes in the form of a
lotion. Apparently while using milk of magnesia for acne
as a lotion, majority of acne sufferers respond
delightfully for its soothing effect on their itchy
skin. Also this lotion helps improve the skin complexion
which again gets an added bonus from its users. But if
analyzed wisely, all of this is happening externally
leaving the internal factors ignored and hence
untreated. Thus milk of magnesia or any other “acne
curing product” does not cure acne permanently except
dumping your system with their loads of filthy side
effects. And the one and only remedy that can challenge
the role of milk of magnesia for acne cure is none other
than the holistic treatment.
Since
acne is caused due to the combined effect of several
internal and external factors, a mere application of
milk of magnesia externally will never ever help. Acne
is a condition when you are out of balance and your
hormone secretion is disrupted to the extent that it
affects the sebaceous glands to produce excess oil that
clog your skin pores. Unflushed blood toxin is another
primary factor in the scenario. Thus curing acne
permanently is a real challenge which can be met
successfully by only considering all the factors,
primary and secondary together.
So
be bold and face the challenge. Holistic treatment
considers all your discomforts, internal and external,
physical and mental with a thorough intervention and
treats them individually. By ensuring a proper balanced
diet full of green vegetables and fruits with
antioxidants the holistic therapy cleanses your system
thereby flushing away all the accumulated toxins in the
blood. Plenty of drinking water puts your internal pH
balance back to normal and thus relaxes the oil glands.
Once the primary factors are resolved, the external
symptoms start ceasing automatically which in turn
relaxes you mentally. And mental well being is but one
of the main elements in the holistic approach. Once your
internal system and mental agitation is soothed, your
skin feels solaced and pampered. Of course an external
cleansing routine is advised to keep the dirt at bay. So
be bold and throw away that bottle full of milk of
magnesia for acne cure and bosom a 100% natural
treatment, err, pampering the holistic
way!
